# Cloudflare Turnstile Token API (`lanky_quantifier/turnstile-token-api`) Actor Solve Cloudflare Turnstile challenges with a browser-based Apify Actor and return the response token as a dataset item. - **URL**: https://apify.com/lanky\_quantifier/turnstile-token-api.md - **Developed by:** [Vhub Systems](https://apify.com/lanky_quantifier) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, AI - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Turnstile Token API Solve Cloudflare Turnstile challenges. Get fresh tokens on demand. ### What it does Given a URL hosting a Cloudflare Turnstile widget and its site key, this actor solves the challenge and returns a fresh `cf-turnstile-response` token you can use to authenticate subsequent requests. **No third-party solver API.** Uses Scrapling's undetectable browser (Camoufox/Patchright) so Cloudflare can't distinguish us from a real visitor. ### Pricing (pay-per-event) | Event | Price | |-------|-------| | `token-solved` | **$0.003** per token | | `token-failed` | **$0** (diagnostic only) | You pay only for successful tokens. ### Input ```json { "url": "https://example.com/login", "siteKey": "0x4AAAAAAADnPIDROrmt1Wwj", "action": "", "cdata": "", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }, "timeoutMs": 60000 } ```` #### Fields - **url** (required) — Page URL that hosts the Turnstile challenge. - **siteKey** (required) — Turnstile site key (from the `
` or script). - **action** — Optional Turnstile action name. - **cdata** — Optional custom data. - **proxyConfiguration** — Apify residential proxy (recommended) or bring-your-own. - **timeoutMs** — Max solve time, 10-180 seconds. ### Output (dataset) ```json { "token": "0.abc-long-cf-token-...", "url": "https://example.com/login", "siteKey": "0x4AAAAAAADnPIDROrmt1Wwj", "solvedAt": "2026-04-23T01:02:03.456Z", "durationMs": 8420, "method": "scrapling_stealth", "error": null } ``` ### Try This First ```bash curl https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/lanky_quantifier~turnstile-token-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "url": "https://somesite.com/protected", "siteKey": "0xYOUR_SITE_KEY" }' ``` ### Why this vs 2captcha / CapSolver | | This actor | 2captcha / CapSolver | |---|---|---| | Price per token | $0.003 | $0.0015-0.002 | | Per-run overhead | paid only on success | usually pay-per-attempt | | Third-party dep | none (self-hosted browser) | requires their API | | Geo-IP control | Apify proxy (195+ countries) | fixed | | Integration | Apify standard | custom API | Price-match is intentional. We win on reliability + already integrated with Apify's proxy/scheduler/webhooks infrastructure. ### Limits & Caveats - Each successful solve takes 5-30 seconds (stealth browser navigation). - Pages with heavy anti-bot stacks beyond Turnstile (Akamai / DataDome / PerimeterX) may reduce success rate. - Tokens are single-use and valid 3-5 minutes — request fresh token just before the protected action. ### Changelog - **0.1** (2026-04-23) — Initial release. Pain #1 from V-Markets research validated (engagement 27). # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Full URL of the page hosting the Turnstile challenge. ## `siteKey` (type: `string`): The Cloudflare Turnstile site key (0x... or similar) found in the challenge script tag. ## `action` (type: `string`): Action name if the Turnstile widget uses one. Leave empty otherwise. ## `cdata` (type: `string`): Custom data value if the Turnstile widget uses one. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy config for fetching the challenge page. Use Apify residential or bring-your-own (BYOP). ## `timeoutMs` (type: `integer`): Max time to solve the challenge. Default 60s. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://example.com/login", "siteKey": "0x4AAAAAAADnPIDROrmt1Wwj", "action": "", "cdata": "", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] }, "timeoutMs": 60000 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lanky_quantifier/turnstile-token-api").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
